Not only does UGA have an extra game under their belt, but they’ve played three BCS foes, all significantly tougher opponents than either of the Sun Devils tune-ups.
Albeit against a weaker opponent Tennessee-Martin, the Tigers offense had a huge breakout game last week after being among the worst in the country after two games. It was the first game as starter for sophomore QB Tyler Bass.
Bass completed 22-of-28 for 293 yards and four TDs. He also rushed for 80 yards and another trip to the end zone.

Irish QB Jimmy Clausen admits his turf toe could affect his play. They are already without top WR Michael Floyd. He will be replaced by two players trying to resurrect their careers. Duval Kamara set two freshman receiving records two years ago, while Robby Paris was second on the team in receiving yards. Each player has regressed since.

Golden Bears WR Nyan Boateng is out. He led the team in receptions last year and was third this season. He is also an outstanding downfield blocker.
